It suggests consumers have: 🔵 Cautious optimism → Uncertain of economic stability 🔵 Confidence financially → Highest level in three years 🔵 Hesitancy spending → Improved finances but careful This creates a unique challenge for businesses. How do you capitalise on the optimism while considering the potential financial restraints? The right talent can be the difference between riding the wave of consumer confidence or being swept away by the undercurrent of caution. Companies that focus on: ✅ Value proposition ✅ Employee experience ✅ Consumer insights Will succeed in attracting and retaining top talent. ------------------------------------------------------- We are Consumer Additions, your innovative recruitment solution in the consumer sector. 🔵 Looking for support in hiring exceptional talent?

New insights: pushing the notion of diversity to new horizons We were thrilled to have been joined by Jody Day, founder of Gateway Women, for our recent EY UK Life Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) roundtable with the key discussion topic of pushing the notion of diversity to new horizons. It focused on diverse groups of people who do not have legally protected characteristics, such as non-parents, military veterans, and those who have suffered bereavement. Three top insights: • Recognition and executive sponsorship in DE&I communities are critical • There is immense value in connecting and sharing ideas for implementing new practices • The realisation that there is always more to do in DE&I, including reflections on who might still be underrepresented within our organisations A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the vibrant discussions. Let's continue the conversation and turn these insights into action! 💡🤝 #InclusionMatters #HRLeaders #DiversityAndInclusion #BetterWorkingWorld
